Miniature positioning stages of the LPS-24 series for high vacuum: small and subnanometer-accurate for 10-6 hPa
Photo by PI Physik Instrumente<\/i><\/p><\/div>\n

Under vacuum conditions down to 10-6 hPa, the miniature stages of only 24 mm in width achieve a sub-nanometer resolution over a travel range of 15 mm.<\/p>\n

Thus, they fulfil important requirements for the positioning of optical and mechanical components or for the adjustment and manipulation of samples in vacuum with a confined space.<\/p>\n

The position is measured with an integrated linear encoder that has a resolution of 150 nm or 20 nm. PI’s own linear encoder PIOne even achieves a resolution of 0.5 mm and a minimum step size of 1 nm.<\/p>\n

A version of LPS-24 for ultra-high vacuum up to 10-9 hPa is available. It allows the smallest incremental motions of 40 nm.<\/p>\n

Smooth nanostepping mode<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the stage series LPS-24 PI uses directly driven NEXACT\u00ae stepping drives. They combine the benefits of piezo actuators as regards resolution, stiffness and vacuum compatibility with long travel ranges. A position-controlled system with NEXACT\u00ae drive allows a constant and consistent nanostepping mode along a predefined motion profile to the target position. Thanks to this functional principle, the LPS-24 linear positioning stages reach not only a high positioning accuracy, but also a high path accuracy.<\/p>\n

During the stepping motion, the contact between individual actuators and the moved rod is based only on static friction. Besides, this results in a substantial increase in the lifetime and reliability of the drives.<\/p>\n

Easy system integration and extensive software<\/strong><\/p>\n

The E-861 controller can be used to operate the miniature positioning stages easily and accurately: It supports the motion types of the piezo stepping drive and is adapted to the requirements of the mechanical system. As a result of the controller’s networking capability, up to 16 controllers can be driven simultaneously via one computer interface.<\/p>\n

All parameters can be set and checked via software. For start-up and system configuration, the PIMikroMove\u00ae program is included in the scope of delivery. Connection to custom software is possible via LabVIEW drivers and DLLs.<\/p>\n
